"Steel Design, Sixth Edition covers the fundamentals of structural steel design for buildings. This book is intended for junior-and senior-level engineering students, although some of the later chapters can be used in a combination undergraduate/ graduate course. Practicing civil engineering who need a review of current practices and current AISC Specification and Steel Construction Manual will find the book useful as a reference. Students should have a background in mechanics of materials and analysis od statically determinate structures. Knowledge of statically indeterminate structural analysis is not a prerequisite for the use of this book. (…) We focus on the analysis and design of individual members and connections, rather than complete structures", preface.
